Docker graph driver plugins

Docker graph driver plugins enable admins to use an external/out-of-process
graph driver for use with Docker engine. This is an alternative to using the
built-in storage drivers, such as aufs/overlay/devicemapper/btrfs.

You need to install and enable the plugin and then restart the Docker daemon
before using the plugin. See the following example for the correct ordering
of steps.

/GraphDriver.Create

Create a new, empty, read-only filesystem layer with the specified
ID, Parent and MountLabel. If Parent is an empty string, there is no
parent layer. StorageOpt is map of strings which indicate storage options.
